Abstract (en)
A rail transportable ramp assembly for intermodal trains comprises a pair of parallel, spaced ramp members (30) each having a first end for engaging a ground level surface and a second end for engagement with a loading end of a rail car (16). A rigid cross-member (30C) extends between the ramp members (30) adjacent the first ends. A flange (44) is attached to the second ends of the ramp members (30) for releasably coupling the ramp members (30) to the rail car (16). The rail car (16) has a slanted surface on each of opposite sides of the loading end for engaging the flange (44) and restraining the ramp members (30). The rail car (16) also incorporates rollers (36) at the loading end for facilitating movement of the ramp members (30) between a loaded position and a latching position.
